Cat power! That was the other one I was trying to remember. Used to enjoy her stuff until an embarrassing incident involving one of her tunes, some spinach and a colleague in a pub in mid Wales.

Still, it’s been 3 yrs now. Wounds heal and I reckon I can listen to her again without suffering flashbacks.

Caitlin Rose. Country tinged songstress.

If you havent heard the old favourite Trinity Sessions by the Cowboy Junkies it would be a massive oversight.

There’s bands like Howling Bells with great female singers, Emily Haynes is Metric’s lead singer, so check them out as well.
Oh, and there’s Tanya Donelly, and her band Belly.

Grace Slick of ‘Jefferson Airplane’ – her vocals in White Rabbit I find utterly mesmerizing.
